Projects C

UCSF Medical Center at Mission Bay

Location: San Francisco, CA

Client: UCSF Health

Services: Architecture, Medical Planning, Interior Design

Completion: 2015

Construction Cost: $760M

Size: 878,000 SF

San Francisco prides itself on being a leader in many social and technological issues including caring for the health of its citizens, being a center for research and innovation, and spearheading efforts to be the greenest city in the United States. An existing University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Mission Bay life sciences research campus made the addition of a new medical center nearby an ideal ground for translational medicine. It provides space for UCSF’s highly-regarded cancer, children and women’s programs.

The design puzzle was to balance identity with the cost efficiency of shared services in construction, operational, and staffing costs. In the 878,000 square foot structure, each center of excellence is separate, but shares a platform of support services and diagnostic treatment spaces arranged along a main spine. A kaleidoscope of color of dichroic glass enlivens the building’s surface and entry to the Benioff Children’s Hospital. The women’s center and cancer center have separate entrances. Sky lobbies allow families outdoor access on patient floors, while over six acres of gardens on terraces, some accessible to patients, make it a hospitable place connected to the natural environment at every opportunity.

545,000 SF

The Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women and Children (KMCWC) is comprised of several clinics and support buildings, constructed at various times over the last 40 years. Stantec reviewed the existing master plan, produced by HDR, and assessed the state of the hospital, making sure that the planned development supported future growth and flexibility for the five-tower campus. The tight urban site of the hospital imposes constraints that must be considered in conjunction with the immediate clinical priorities, flows, and the future operational considerations.

Our goal was to facilitate an interactive review process that would result in a facility development trajectory that accommodates both immediate and future needs without major disruption of hospital activity. Stantec medical planners held a two-day charette and planning session with the objective of assessing need for critical course correction prior to engagement in major investment moving forward. KMCWC’s investment in appropriate and strategic development of the hospital site is essential in delivering high quality care.

This master plan and first phase of development addressed a new parking structure as well as replacement and expansion of the Emergency Department, PICU, and NICU. The second phase of the master plan addressed the relocation of the surgery and sterile services departments as well as relocation of the remaining inpatient services and removal of key support services from the shared services building (SSB), allowing for eventual demolition.

The design process utilized by Stantec’s integrated, multi-disciplinary team was informed by lessons learned from previous Kaiser projects. The hospital is scheduled to open before 2030, with the first patient expected in September 2029.

Building upon the successful outcomes of West Shore Hospital, UPMC sole-sourced Stantec for the design of its replacement hospital in York. Stantec collaborated with UPMC Pinnacle on the development of their Memorial campus, which centers around the 130-bed replacement of Memorial Hospital. The expanded bed capacity and anticipated growth for the region, necessitated the Outpatient Services building is ajoined to the hospital to provide a more comprehensive range of health services on the campus.

The six-story hospital houses all the necessary support functions for a freestanding hospital, including an emergency department, surgical services, radiology, central sterile processing, lab, pharmacy, dietary services, and central utility plant. A comprehensive care platform combining surgical services and intensive care unit supports an extensive cardiac program staffed by the PinnacleHealth Cardiovascular Institute, while a Women’s & Babies unit provides birthing care for northern York County.

The five-story outpatient services building provides access to numerous clinical specialties, creating a more convenient patient experience while bringing more visits to the campus. At the core of the program is an emphasis on oncology and ambulatory surgery.

Situated on over 100 acres, the campus is organized around outdoor gardens and walking trails, with room for future facilities to care for York residents.

Construction Cost: $1B Size: 1,100,000 SF

Loma Linda University was seeking a team of professionals to bring excellence in electrical design, programming, and technology for their medical center expansion. The project included an expansion and renovations, requiring technology, audiovisual, security, acoustics, and electrical design.

Our team provided engineering design and construction administration support, contributing planning expertise, support, and insight to several contractors and integrators. The modified Design Assist project delivery format was a challenge— notably, seismic forces on the high-rise included deflecting and dampening, three inches of inner story drift, and movement of the base isolated building around the adjacent fixed earth. Bus duct systems are not typically designed to withstand these constraints, but we worked with the electrical subcontractor and client to create a first of its kind solution for healthcare construction in California. The system was chosen to provide flexibility to the infrastructure, which has a small footprint required for the building’s center core design.

In the end, Loma Linda has new services including a university hospital, children’s hospital, a 10MW emergency generator plant, expanded central energy plant, support services, and more. Our early involvement helped partners make sound decisions to ultimately reduce cost and improve operational performance.

Completion: 2018

Construction Cost: N/A

Size: 14 Acres

National Jewish Health has been a critical institution since the 19th century in Denver. Its quality of care and services has expanded over many years, leading to it becoming a nationally and internationally known organization with world class care, including being consistently ranked at the top of lists for its Pulmonology department, reflecting its beginnings as a tuberculosis treatment center.

Despite its stature, the hospital struggles, as many do, with providing attainable housing to attract and retain staff and amenities, like food and beverage options and hospitality, for the comfort of both staff and visitors alike. Partnering up with local Denver real estate development firm, McWhinney, NJH wanted to explore the feasibility of developing the land surrounding its health campus to infuse these needed elements into their neighborhood. With approximately 14 acres of land being used for parking and other non-development uses, NJH was able to provide a large platform for significant development.

Stantec undertook a feasibility master plan study and identified the opportunity for hundreds of market rate and affordable housing units, tens of thousands of square feet for new MOB uses, a new restaurant and shop “main street”, and an adaptive reuse of the original 1893 hospital building into a boutique hotel for visitors to the hospital and others to the city overall. The plan created a roadmap to merge the amazing healthcare provision of the hospital campus with much needed housing and other elements.

Completion: 2022

Construction Cost: $2M

Size: 4,800 SF

Committed to creating a healthier Hawaii, Hawaii Pacific Health recognized the need for patientcentered Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) care in the Kaka’ako neighborhood of Honolulu. Located on the ground floor of Waterfront Plaza, a premier mixed-use commercial development, the clinic necessitated a strong yet inviting street presence.

The highlight of the main entry, reception, and waiting area is a full-scale wall graphic featuring the radiant Hawaii sun setting into the expansive ocean. The considerable size of this installation speaks to the significance of “wai” (water) to the Hawaiian culture, its native people, and to the community of Kaka’ako, once known for its fishing villages, salt ponds and rich, agricultural lands. The interior color scheme is drawn directly from the salt ponds – finish materials of warm, cozy browns, deep, aquatic blues, and glimmering whites, speak to our sense of place. The concept of flowing water is tied throughout by the custom sculpted façade of the reception desk, the gentle curves reflected above in the curvilinear ceiling feature, and on the floors with an undulating, wavelike pattern creating flow throughout the space.

Construction Cost: $172M Size: 179,000 SF

Precision, Transparency, Integration, and Activation.

Inspired by these design principles, Stantec added to UCSF’s Mission Bay medical campus with the Bakar Precision Cancer Medicine Building (PCMB). Our connection to the site dates back to 2007, when we began design on the Medical Center at Mission Bay, which contains hospitals for children, women, and cancer, as well as the Ron Conway Gateway Medical Office Building (Gateway MOB).

Designed to spur collaboration and integrate research and care, our design successfully integrates PCMB with the existing Gateway MOB while allowing each its own unique identity.

Transparency echoes the building program, with more privacy at street level and abundant use of glass on the upper infusion floors. The massing is pulled back dramatically at the edges to create a generous and vibrant street-level experience.

PCMB consolidates UCSF’s solid tumor practices.

Anishnawbe Health Indigenous Community Health Centre

Location: Toronto, ON, Canada

Client: Anishnawbe Health Toronto

Services: Architecture, Medical Planning, Interior Design, MEP Engineering, Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Landscape Architecture

Completion: 2023

Construction Cost: $22.7M

Size: 45,000 SF

The heart of Toronto’s Indigenous hub is the fourstory Indigenous Community Health Centre (ICHC). Inspired by indigenous cultural touchstones—the land, natural remedies, traditional healing, sunrise, woven patterns, landscape is a primary driver.

Key programs on the ground floor—ceremonial space, traditional healer, and the community kitchen—are established as standalone pavilions inspired by pebbles in the stream of the Don River delta.

Art is an important part of storytelling and indigenous culture. The interior design weaves art into the building fabric itself through glazed panels displaying patterns and artwork chosen by the community. We have incorporated exhibit space within public zones and corridors where AHT can display its extensive art and craft collections.

The traditional indigenous woven shawl serves as the inspiration for the building cladding. The exterior curves and folds like a shawl, offering comfort and care to its users.

The shawl opens at the four-level atrium letting in east light and providing dramatic views of the central landscape. The red staircase was inspired by “the red road,” an indigenous metaphor relating to making wise and spiritual choices in life.

The Green at West Village

Location: Davis, CA

Client: University Student Living

Services: Architecture, Interior Design, MEP Engineering, Civil Engineering, Landscape Architecture, Technology, Acoustics & Vibration

Completion: 2021

Construction Cost: $545M

Size: 1,300,000 SF

Faced with a rapidly growing student body, UC Davis engaged a public private partnership (P3) team to plan, design, engineer, and build an ambitious student housing expansion. As the largest single student P3 project during its design and construction in the US, the Green at West Village project includes community space, recreational fields, and nine four-story apartment buildings spanning 46 acres.

Originally, West Village was planned for 1,275 beds. But the team developed a plan to create substantially more residential units and deliver them quickly to meet the university’s housing goals. We achieved this creative solution by prefabricating the structural system components offsite and using unique identifiers for location and placement of each component in order to speed up the project timeline.

In keeping with the ethos of UC Davis, the project sets new benchmarks in sustainability. Utilizing the 5.5-megawatt solar array located on UC Davis parking structures, the project is designed to be a zero-net energy (ZNE) community. We chose specific landscaping for low water use and longevity, and we designed the entire campus to promote bike and pedestrian movement, a core part of the school’s culture.

Collaboration

Wholeness and Healing

We can shape the new Queen’s Medical Center Kona campus into a place of healing that is distinctly Hawaiian.

Archaeological discoveries in the KalokoHonokohau National Historical Park and in the Cultural Preserve adjacent to the project site suggest that Honokohauiki was once an active ahupua’a. The name Honokohau, which means “the bay where waters congregate” and the archaeological remains of fish ponds discovered here suggest that vital connections

from Mauka to Makai once created a whole, self-sustaining ecosystem. This idea of wholeness begins to suggest a starting point for how the new hospital and other buildings being planned can shape the new Queen’s Medical Center Kona Campus into a place of healing that is distinctly Hawaiian.

The Heart of the New Campus

One way to build on the notion of wholeness and healing is to expand the cultural preserve that flanks the property’s northern edge. Transforming this narrow strip into a healing landscape can allow it to become the heart of the new campus. Roads and parking can be organized around this approach, creating convenient drop-off points and clear wayfinding. This simultaneously preserves the continuity of the landscape throughout the site and creates pedestrian-oriented spaces for patients and families to connect with nature.

Our approach is based on several core principles:

Clear Project Goals—a collective understanding of the project’s objectives

Open Communication—continuous engagement through participation in regular meetings, sharing of information and feedback, transparency

Resource Optimization—a team that provides local knowledge and expertise in designing hospitals throughout North America

Ownership and accountability—client partnership and responsible solutions based on highest value for quality and cost

Community in mind—client partnership, meeting patient and provider needs to improve the healthcare services for Hawaii Island residents

Sustainability and stewardship—integrating carbon reduction, climate resilience, increase energy efficiency practices

Working with QMC

The traditional approach to architectural design of a healthcare facility can be a disjointed process, often lacking communication and efficiency.

In contrast to this, our team utilizes an integrated design approach, promoting a holistic perspective and interdisciplinary collaboration. We believe in genuine collaboration and partnership that aims to be open and transparent. Our team has diverse skills, both local and national, and we depend on each other to complement and support our work collectively. Our long-lasting relationship with our consultants and QMC support a positive working relationship.

We believe that the benefits of open communication and shared information can lead to quantum improvements not possible with a siloed approach.

We combine our national healthcare design expertise with local knowledge of Hawaii’s climate, culture, and community.

Throughout this process, our team applies tools and approach elements such as multidisciplinary workshops to support a collaborative and integrated approach that applies Lean concepts and tools, benchmarks and best practices. This creates efficient, effective, and value driven solutions that focus the team on an enhanced experience for the patients and providers.

Through our team of experienced professionals, we will work with QMC to create design solutions that are relevant to you now but also position you for continued relevance in the future. Our collaborative team approach brings all decision-makers together at the inception of design through project closeout. This approach transcends traditional boundaries by promoting a holistic perspective, with the desired goal to create an exemplary healthcare facility that will support and sustain the Hawaii Island community. In summary:

y Maximize collaboration and teamwork within the entire project team

y Increase the relatedness of the participants

y Optimize the whole, not the pieces

y Plan facilities which truly meet needs now and well into the future, with express consideration of patient care, healthcare costs, sustainability and other project goals and objectives derived collaboratively

y Based solutions on a combination of quality and cost with “highest value” being the ultimate goal
